A membership drive was conducted this year, and many attractive post- ers were hung about the school. This plan was a great success. A doggie roast was held at Miss Intel's home, where all the future meetings were planned. At the first meeting each person made a note pad, either in the form of a wall plaque or a scribble pad. The second project was making the membership pins, which were constructed of nickel silver in the shape of palettes. Clay modeling was the club’s next activity, and some unique necklaces and pins were made. Since plastic articles are very new and modern, the club made clever rings from pink and blue plastic. This project was such a success that other members made bracelets from aqua plastic. At the Easter meeting eggs were painted and decorated with the conventional designs often seen at that season. The final meeting was held with the French club, and French painters and French art were discussed. The members of the Arts and Crafts Club gave very inter- esting reports on such artists as Millet, Monet and Van Gogh. The officers of the Arts and Crafts Club were president, Gloria Willis; vice president, Janet Zimmerman sec- retary, Shirley Knecht; treasurer, Madeleine Nevin. Shirley Knecht.

It is open every day during and after school. Students who wish to do reference work may do it in the library during their study- hall periods. Most of the books may be taken out for a period of two weeks. The library is under the direction of the DEWEY DECIMAL CLUB which is one of the oldest and one of the most popular organizations in the school. It is composed of students who are interested in library work and who are willing to devote their time during school hours and after school assisting the librarian. Their duties consist of checking and mending books, filing cards, supervising the arrangement of the books on the shelves, and keeping the library orderly and neat at all times. Although they find it necessary to work diligently during their assigned library periods, they find time to relax during their meetings, which were held this year on alternate Thursdays. The library club entertained the Phillipsburg Club in the Easton school library. They heard several guest speakers, among whom were Miss Magee and Mr. Johnson of the high school faculty, and Mr. Minnick, who is in charge of the Easton Public Library. At Christmas a delightful party was held. Later in the year they visited the Phillipsburg club in their school library and were entertained by them. The principal event of the year was the final meeting at which time a gift was presented to Miss Magee. The officers of the club were Betty Golla, president; Theresa Labate, vice presi- dent; Mary Roy, secretary; Arlene Johnson, treasurer; and Miss Magee, adviser.

The questions used on the program are submitted by students. The Quiz Master was Dr. M. L. Howe, head of the English department of Easton High School. Quizzes were held between various clubs within the school and with the clubs of Wilson and Phillipsburg High Schools. Many interesting pro- grams included contests between the Mathematics and the Latin Clubs, Pen and Parchment and Junto staffs, Senior Hi-Y and Junior Hi-Y clubs, and the Chemistry and the French clubs. A very interesting battle of wits was held between the orig- inators of the program and three students of the high school. Mr. Sandwick was adviser to the students in charge of the programs. The STAGE MANAGERS prepare the stage for the production of all programs. They operate the moving picture machine and amplifying system and they put up the scenery. Their work is not con- fined to school production; they also work on community presentations in the auditorium, some of which are community concerts, P. T. A. plays, and dance recitals. The most im- portant jobs of the year are the operetta, which requires about one month’s work, and the senior and junior plays. The group closes the year’s work in preparation for the graduation exercises. The leader of the Stage Managers is Jack Price, and the adviser is Mr. Erb. Ray Bassett. Frank Lehr Jaek Price.
